Mindie was In Town Friday night so all the Girls that could (Mom-Mindie-Bridget-cute Pregnant Sarah and Myself)got together and went to see Mama Mia which is fabulous- We had a blast. It is nice when your closest friends are your sister's and even better when its your mom. The movie ended about 11:45pm and at 1am my mom and Mindie were in my drive way wanting her purse she had left in my car, I was up so no big deal. Mindie and her Friends in Idaho are always pulling pranks on each other, leaving refrigerators in drive-ways, Programing their garage opener to other peoples homes and randomly opening their door, silly things so we decided at about 1:30 to do something funny and Rob came up with the brilliant idea of filling their car with balloons so we headed to the store and bought 150 balloons and some window paint then with my spare key to my parents we broke in and stole Mindie's car keys. It took us four separate trips through out the night to finally fill the car. We were up all night because we didn't have any tools except for our lungs to blow the balloons up with so we would blow up as many balloons as we could fit in our car and drive over and put them in her car. On the last trip it was about 5:45 and getting light. Mindie was sleeping in the bedroom at the front of the house with the Windows open, My dad being a freak about the air conditioning had woken up and could hear the air on and knew the windows were open so He got up( its a wonder where Jared gets his obsessions?) to shut the windows and saw us getting into her car, only he didn't know it was us, so He goes back into the house screaming that someone is breaking into Mindie's car, Mindie wakes up and yells out the window "Hey Get out of there!" Then I look up and here is dad coming down the drive way again not knowing it is us, I couldn't help but wonder what he actually would have done if it had been people breaking into the car, he didn't have any weapons or anything, which is lucky for us because he is a concealed weapons carrier, but when Rob stood up he took a few steps back and then realized it was us. They caught us when we were just finishing so we got in the car and went home.
About 9:00 I hear balloons popping in my yard so I look out the window and see the kids, and Mindie writing on my windows, the two boys were on the side yard playing with the balloons and every time the would drop one it would pop and the girls would yell at them. I could tell the girls were having fun so we didn't say anything we just sat and watched them fill up our sauna and write on our windows, but when they started tying balloons on our car it occurred to us that we didn't want 150 balloons tied to our vehicles so we waited for Mindie to get into perfect position right in front of the Xterra and we set off the alarms on both cars, Maddie and bugs yell,"RUN!" and they all took off to there car. When we came out poor Jace was covering his ears and Mindie was still scared. We had a lot of fun and left them with at least 100 balloons to pop and get rid of- I guess We consider ourselves lucky, had Jeremy been in town I think we would have, one, been face to face with a shot gun at 6 am, and two, There would have been a lot more than balloons and paint on my car windows....I did get a call later from Mindie who wanted to comment that it was "Totally embarrassing" driving home with what was on her windows, which was, "Yep it's a Fart!" (drivers side) "I have more kids than teeth!" (passengers side) and " Yes I am speeding" (back window)....Anyone up for visiting us soon?
